This new stat = Championship, baby!

[sherck]

The Colts have the easiest strength of schedule in the NFL next season, based on opponent winning percentage from 2016. Colts opponents have a combined winning percentage of .424, which is .015 percentage points the next closest teams (Jacksonville, Tennessee) and a far distance behind the toughest schedule, which belongs to the Denver Broncos (.578).

Away:
Baltimore (8-8)
Buffalo (7-9)
Cincinnati (6-9-1)
Houston (9-7)
Jacksonville (3-13)
Los Angeles Rams (4-12)
Seattle (10-5-1)
Tennessee (9-7)

Home:
Arizona (7-8-1)
Cleveland (1-15)
Denver (9-7)
Houston (9-7)
Jacksonville (3-13)
Pittsburgh (11-5)
San Francisco (2-14)
Tennessee (9-7)

Only 2 double-digit win teams next year (PIT, SEA) and three 9-7 teams (DEN, HOU, TEN).

7 out of 16 games against teams with winning records in 2016.

CHAMPIONSHIP! :)

Okay, perhaps not, but I agree with another quote from the article:
"Basically, if Chuck Pagano can’t get his team turned around in 2017, Jim Irsay might be forced to fire him," wrote John Breech of CBS Sports.
His lips to God's ears.

we will win 10 games because of Luck and the schedule.

pagano will still show this team is terribly unprepared and he will show he is still a terrible coach.

but this weak ass schedule will save him for another year when the colts go 8-8 because pagano is forming a losing culture in the locker room

7-9

because pagano is forming a losing culture in the locker room

Please define how Pagano is forming a losing culture in the locker room?

Yes, but now there's a chance of improvement.
